About

Based in the Wigan borough of Greater Manchester, Naked Eye is committed to publishing voices that resonate with and have grown out of the used-up landscapes of a declining continent.

Things we like: playfulness, people who have come to writing later in life, community, the proletariat, urban exploration, considering alternatives to the capitalist urban sprawl, surrealism, modernism, concrete, wonder, care, humour, ugly little animals, dwelling, non-places, resilience, walking, travel, Kafka, Perec.

Naked Eye was founded in 2014 by Mike Kilyon and handed to Lydia Unsworth in 2025 to look after and water and place in the sunlight.
